Nissan
350Z
The reborn Z returns to its 1970 roots.
|
The new Nissan 350Z completely fractures this
horsepower hierarchy. With a base price of $26,809, the resurrected Z-car
costs barely 10 percent more than a Mister Two, yet it has more than
double that little Toyota's power. In fact, the 350Z's total of 287
horsepower is only a few ponies shy of what is offered in a Porsche 911
that costs two and half times as much as the Nissan.
Hyundai Tiburon GT V6
Th Faux engine vents on the side of the Tiburon give it a
decidedly Ferrari 456 look, While the B- and C- pillar lines harken back to the
Toyota Supra. The instrument cluster, and especially the needles, are
straight up Audi TT, as is the metal ring around the shifter. The 2.7
liter V6 provides ample torque in the midrange, but none of the high rpm thrust
that drivers expect in the sport compact segment.
2002 Acura RSX
Acura's star, the RSX coupe, is already here. Stepping in for the much loved Integra, the RSX elevates Acura's sport coupe game with even beter handling.

Mercedez Benz SL55 AMG
The SL55 multispoke 18 inch wheel are the most obvious
styling clue tha his is no SL 500. Mechanically, it's the 476 hp
supercharged V8 that sets this AMG apart it can hurtle the SL down the autobahn
at over 200 mph. The SL55 is even more impousing with the top up.

Jaguar S-Type R
Form it's distinctive mesh grille down to it's open 18-in. five spoke alloy
wheels, the jaguar S_Type R has a strong, purposeful look that is in keeping
with the 400 bhp 4.2 liter supercharged V8
|
Mini Cooper S
Stylish faux engine vent. Rear spoiler helps reduce
aero lift. Intercooler sits atop engine, with supercharged hidden below so
much crammed in so small space. Chrome plated fuel filler flaps, shifter
for Getrag 6 speed, combines leather and chrome, optional 17 inch wheels, center
mounted twin tailpipes exit special rear valance.
